I am going to build a 10X10 cabin, is it safe to put a fireplace? what kind would be safe?
Dee
I will be sleeping in it and there will be no power available. I live in Ontario Canada and it can get real cold. I am going to put it on 25 acres I just purchased. It would be nice to go in the winter and be able to cross country and sleep in the cabin, any advice? Thanks

A woodstove will give more heat for the same amount of wood, and the fire will last longer after you put wood on it which gives you a better chance of being warm in the morning. It sounds like you don't have to worry about building codes since this won't be a dwelling, and if so, you should look at stoves made for boats or for camping because you only need a very small stove in that space. Any house size stove will be far too big. They range from plain sheet metal stoves light enough to put in a horse pack, to cast iron ones that are much heavier. Any stove will heat that size place very well. Sheet metal will start giving heat as soon as you light a fire, but will cool off very quickly once the fire is out though you could put firebrick on the floor of the stove which would retain some heat. Cast iron will heat up slower but the stove will stay warm for a while when the fire is out. Stoves will also have the advantage of having space on top where you could boil water or even cook. Some can even have a water tank on the side, so as long as the stove is warm you have warm water.
Pay very close attention to clearances when designing where the stove will go. You absolutely must be sure it's not too close to anything combustible like wood, furniture, or clothing. That might involve installing metal shielding on walls, floor, and even the ceiling. I have a sheet metal stove in my workshop and it throws enough heat that things 3 feet away get pretty warm.
If you want to look for these stoves, google " tent stove", "camping woodstove", and "marine woodstove". Also check Cabela's website, they have a few.
